Sunlight Increases Testosterone
October 14th, 2009 - Interested in boosting your testosterone levels? Try Sunlight.
Research shows that testosterone levels are highest in men during the summer months of June though July. (1) In a study involving men between the ages of 19-30, researchers found that only 1 hour of sunlight exposure stimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) production by 69.5% (2) luteinizing hormone is the primary hormone that signals the testes to increase testosterone production.
Sunlight exposure is also the main source of vitamin D production in the body, and low vitamin D levels are a good indicator of insufficient sunlight exposure. Therefore, testing for vitamin D can be an excellent way to ensure you are getting enough sunlight for optimal testosterone levels.
The take home message - Get outside as much as possible!
